Anyone over the age of 60 will simply be able to turn up for any public swim sessions to obtain their free swim.

Pool timetables can be found on www.freedom-leisure.co.uk. Photo ID, clearly showing a date of birth - such as a drivers' licence or passport - will however need to be presented before every free swim.

Meanwhile Freedomleisure is offering a 'no fuss' way to access free swimming with an annual discounted leisure pass available for just for 5 for a whole year.

Holders will be registered on the Freedomleisure database and they will just need to 'swipe in' every time they attend the centre making it simple to take advantage of the free swim initiative. The leisure pass available is now available at Bexhill Leisure Pool, Hastings and Rye.
